RPi Fishing Quadcopter!

I called this drone "Gabian" in honor to the french mediterranean appelation of the seagull. It is a waterproof quadcopter fully built around a Raspberry Pi equipped with a Navio 2 board. It uses a RPi Cam V2 and a home made gimbal to provide full HD stabilized video stream in flight. It has a built-in drop system to transport fishing lines where the fishes are! Its lights even offer possibility to use at night time thanks to the powerful leds.

We were thrilled with your creative contributions last time we asked – a year on, we want to see what you’ve been making in 2016. Whether you have pieced a Pi or Arduino-based system together from scratch as a fun joint project with the kids, or breathed life into some older tech you had lying around, contribute and we’ll gather together some of your success stories – or even tales of woe.
